The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 263 Entering Xihe County

Outside Jinyang City, the generals on the high platform had been waiting for Xu An for a long time. Although the sun was shining brightly, none of them complained.

Xu An drove his horses to gallop in front of the army formation, his shouts resounded through the clouds, and banners were dancing in front of everyone's eyes.

Hao Zhao, Guo Daxian, and Zuo Miaozhangba were also full of emotions. Even though the cheers and shouts were not directed at them, they couldn't help themselves.

The high platform erected outside Jinyang City is specially made, and it can be directly mounted on a horse.

Lu Bu, Zhou Cang, Gao Shun and other generals were all riding horses and standing under the high platform with their soldiers.

Accompanied by shouts like a tsunami, Xu An whipped his horse and led a group of relatives to the high platform.

"Call-"

Xu An lightly pulled the reins, and the bay red horse snorted, then slowed down.

Under the high platform, twenty flags stand on both sides, the flags enter the sea, spears and halberds are like a forest, the sound of "Wan Sheng" stops for a while, the Yellow Turban Army's formation is strict and powerful, and it looks like a sea of ​​clouds in the sky at first glance.

The four banners in the center are Lu Bu and Zhou Cang, the two chief and deputy officers of the Xiaoqi battalion, and Gao Shun and Bai Rao, the two chief and deputy officers who are trapped in the camp.

Next to them are the eight banners of Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, Hao Meng, Cao Xing and other generals of the Xiaoqi Battalion, and the two banners of Bai Rao and Zuo Xiao who are trapped in the camp.

On both sides are the flags embroidered with the word "Wu" from the Wuzu camp and the flags embroidered with the word "Rui" from the Ruishi camp on both sides, and then there are the flags of the ordinary Yellow Turban Army.

"Is this the Yellow Turban Army? Is this the Taiping Road!?"

Hao Zhao's eyes were full of eagerness. The army in the audience gave him a feeling that was different from any army he had seen. They were full of vigor.

That was the Bingzhou army, something that the Han army, the Huns, and the Xianbei didn't have.

There was no shelter in the surrounding area, and the cool wind whizzed past on the vast plain. The flags fluttered and flew in the strong wind, and all the soldiers in the audience shouted "Wan Victory" in unison!
The entire south of Jinyang City was immersed in majesty.

Xu An led the horse past Lu Bu, Zhou Cang and other generals.

"Xihe County has been occupied by the Huns for several months."

Xu An immediately straightened his back, looked at the generals in front of him, and said loudly.

"Most of my Taoists of Taiping Dao and my soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army came from humble backgrounds, and there are tens of thousands of people in Xihe County who are half the size of us."

"Thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, China's wilderness, and the world, all the poor people, all the ordinary people, all the exploited, all the oppressed, all the bullied, are all my compatriots! I am all equal!"

Xu An took a deep breath, looking at the solemn faces in the audience, his voice also sank.

"The Xiongnu went south to plunder and kill our compatriots wantonly. They treated us like dolphins, treated us like worthless things, and treated us like nothing!"

"ridiculous!"

Xu An swung his whip and jumped on his horse, and the horse galloped down from the high platform, followed by all the soldiers behind him.

"Huang Tian's warriors! Huang Tian's warriors!"

Xu An held up the horse and shouted loudly.

The big khaki flag galloped past the front of the Yellow Turban Army formation. Xu An looked at the formation, staring at his eyes in pairs, looking at the young, immature, or aging faces. .

"Raise your swords and guns in your hands, raise your weapons in your hands, raise your whips, and mobilize your horses!" "Go to the west, go to Xihe County, and take our compatriots, our compatriots who are suffering, from the suffering rescued from it!"

Everyone who heard Xu An's voice raised their weapons, and everyone shouted loudly at Xu An's voice.

"Wan Sheng!!!"

When Xu An's big banner circled the entire army formation, the Yellow Turban Army formation in the south of the city was completely boiling.

"Is this the same way?"

Gao Shun thought that since he fought for many years, he would not be affected by the outside world, even if he was ambushed by the Yellow Turban Army in Hedong County, he did not panic.

Even being entrusted by Xu An with the official position of captain of the camp did not make him too happy.

But today he was about to be infected by the frenzied atmosphere, as if the blood that had cooled down was boiling again.

Gao Shun looked at Pao Ze beside him, Lu Bu, Cheng Lian and others had already been full of excitement on their faces, not only the ordinary soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, but also their blood was ignited by Xu An's words.

In the ears were shouts like mountains and tsunami, and soldiers from all over the army were shouting hysterically, paying tribute to their great and virtuous teachers.

Xu An stopped his horse and looked at the generals in front of him with a solemn expression.

"Lu Bu listens!"

Xu An raised his whip and ordered.

"The end is here!"

Wearing a battle robe of hundreds of flowers, Lu Bu leaped out on horseback.

"This battle is for you to be the commander in chief, commanding the Xiaoqi Battalion, the Martial Soldiers Battalion, the Suppressed Battalion, and the Xihe County soldiers."

Xu Da, who was guarding Xu An, rode out and solemnly handed over a tiger talisman made of brass to Lu Bu.

"The final general will live up to Duke Ming's entrustment!"

Lu Bu took the Tiger Talisman and responded impassionedly.

As the chief general, he led the army and commanded an army of tens of thousands. Last year, he was just a small army in the border county, struggling to climb the mountain. Today, he is the chief general commanding thousands of troops.

……

Xu An led a group of soldiers and stood at the gate of the city. The banners of Lu Bu and others had already gone away, and the marching column of the Yellow Turban Army also slowly disappeared on the horizon.

According to the news reported by the Yingwei lurking in Xihe County, most of the Huns have withdrawn from Xihe County, and only about [-] Huns are still wandering in Xihe County.

This time to regain Xihe County, as long as there are no accidents, the Yellow Turban Army will almost certainly win.

Xu An mobilized his horse and led his guards back to Jinyang City.

In Jinyang City, there are still many affairs waiting for him to deal with, all kinds of affairs are piled up on his copybook.

Xu An and the others had already returned to the city, but the people onlookers in the south of the city seemed to have not recovered from the heroic aura, and they were still standing there watching the Yellow Turban Army leave. Bingzhou hadn't seen it for a long time. Such a powerful army.

In the sixth year of Xiping (177), Tanshihuai of Xianbei unified the forces in the north and repeatedly invaded the nine counties of Yanbian in the Han Empire.

The Han army joined Yi Cong, the Xiongnu who had joined them, and went out to counterattack Tanshihuai.

Xia Yu, captain of Karasuma, set off from Gaoliu, Tian Yan, a general of Poxianbei Zhonglang, set out from Yunzhong, and Zang Min, a general of Xiongnu Zhonglang, set off from Yanmen.

Each of them led more than [-] cavalry, and divided their troops out of the fortress in three ways, intending to advance more than [-] li.

But that battle directly brought down the entire Bingzhou of the Han Empire. Xia Yu and others suffered a disastrous defeat. They even lost their talismans and supplies, and each led dozens of cavalry to flee for their lives.

Of the soldiers of the Han army who went out to fight, as many as seven or eight out of ten died in battle, and less than one-tenth of the soldiers of the Han army returned to the Han Dynasty.

Ten years, a full ten years, the Han army in Bingzhou could not even suppress the Southern Huns who had surrendered to their feet and dared not resist.

However, the imperial court seemed to have forgotten about them, and just barely maintained the existing troops in Bingzhou. It was not until the second year of Zhongping, when the Yellow Turban Army defeated Jinyang and lost the battle of Jinyang, that the emperor Liu Hong remembered Bingzhou.

Not only did the Yellow Turbans who went out remember Xu An's words, but the people on the outskirts also remembered Xu An's words.

"Thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, China's wilderness, and the world, all the poor people, all the ordinary people, all the exploited, all the oppressed, all the bullied, are all my compatriots! I am all equal!"

"Save our compatriots, our compatriots who are suffering, from suffering!"
